October 11

Today is beautiful after last week's 15 inches of rain. October is our rainest time of the year as we transition from summer to fall.

Inspite of the rain, the annual Splash Day yesterday was a great sucess. Most everyone was involved one way or another. For the church service there were one-hundred and four present (twenty regulars were out due to sickness and travels). And then, most everyone stayed for the picnic dinner. Many took their turns on the huge inflatable water slides. All came away with a sense of satisfaction at how well it turned out.


 The church band (guitars/keyboards/drums) meets each Friday for 2-3 hours of practice. At times I want to pull my hair out (what little there is) as we encourage and wait for the inexperienced to improve. However, we realize "Rome was not built in a day". Today for the worship service it all came together. They did a wonderful job today and what a blessing the music was.

There more good things coming up this Saturday but I will save that for the next blog. Thanks for reading.
